QUEEN VICTORIA has lately been WIS.,
iting Aix-lss-Bains, France, and it ap-
pears that the people there have been
Disguised at the niggardliness and
dowdy black dresses of Her Majesty,
Those French critics doubtless forgot
that, while there, the Queens Irish
subjects were being hustled out upon
the roadside by the eyicting crowbar Of
the rack-renting landlord And how
could England's Queen indulge in
festive merry -making with the dark
shadow of deeds so cruel resting upon
her heart. Besides, it should be re-
membered that this is Victoria's jubilee
year, and as her subjects generally have
refused to contribute towards the event,
the Queen Of England must economic
in order to furnish the wherewithal

CATHOLICS AND DEMOCRACY,

The notoriously deplorable attempt
OF certain interested parties to prejudice
Catholics against the Democratic adj
ADMINISTRATION will fall far short OF it's
mark if statistics bearing directly on
the subject are taking into consider;a-
ton. That President Cleveland has
treated the Catholics extremely liberal
is borne out by the fact that he has ap~
pointed to posts of honor. of dignity
and responsibility, three tunes as many
Catholics as held Office during the
twenty-four Years Of Republican rule.
President Cieveland's administration
has been absolutely free from intoler-
and illiberality, and is worthy in every
respect the support Of Catholics.

THE foreign agents of the various
transatlantic steamship companies
trading with New York have advised
the Comm ssioners of Emigration that
the gleat exodus OF Storage passengers
from Ireland and Scotland the past
month is nothing as compared to that
which will take place after June /. The
reports state that at the present time
nearly 10000 families, q total of $4,000
persons, have purchased tickets for
America. The demand fol- berths has
been so great that one or two of the
lines were obliged to refuse passages to
several patches Of intending emjgrants.
One Of the companies, to keep faith
with the engaged passengers, will have
to forward several thousands by steam
ers OF opposition lines.

Mob LAW IN TORONTO.

II. could scarcely be expected that
Mr.. O'Brien's trip through Canada
woaId not be marked by some display
Of tiisappruvn] on the part of the friends
of La!,sl.ovne. The intolerant scns CT
lntolerant Orange sires could not but
manifest their desire to deprive Mr,
y Brian Of that great boon to mankind
freedom Of speech. TO say that the
disturbances which took place in To-
ronto last Tuesday, and followed by the
riot Of Wednesday, were disgraceful in
the extreme scarcely expresses it-they
were murderous, or, at least intended to
be SO. 1t is to the credit of the re-
Specialize Protestant element that they
disccuntenSnced the roWdylsm but it
will ever remain stain on the Toronto
CITY government that they did not pro-
vide more effective means fer Quelling
tbs disturbance.
l. ord Landsdowne has confessed the
weakness Of his cause when ne selected
such men to prevent MI. O'Brien from
speaking, and that it has worked TO his
discrelit is admitted by all. That this
representative Of a house Of question
able nobility understood the intlamma-
tory effect OF his trip through Canada
previous to the arrival of Mr., O'Brisn is
quite certain. He intended by fulsome
t}att8ry Of the Queen to mislead the
people with regard to the real position
he occupies i'll Canada. He was terri
fed at the publication OF the villaules
that prevail On his Irish estates, and
with the design OF multiplying Mr..
C'Brien's exposure Of the facts he
started on 4 personal campaign in the
attempt TO establish q spurious popu-
larity. How far he succeeded can be
gathered from a careful consideration
OF the nllrderous work which has re-
GENTLY taken place in Toronto. He
hundred lowb bred, ignorant men, whose
knowledge of what is right and what is
wrong is on a par with the most de-
based Of the animal creation. But, as
Mr.. O'Brien remarked, their demon
stration took the last sod from under
Lansdowne's feet, for by it he con-
fessed that lie had no better answer to
the terrible arraignmont by the Irish
speakers than the rowdyism, black
gvardism. yulgarity and ignorance OF
the wrstched and despicable crew.
However, when they calculated that
they would prevent Mr.. O'Brien from
speaking they erred in their reckoning.
Very few Of his speeches were delivered
with more telling effect. 1t was just
such an occasion as would show the edi-
tor Of United Ireland in his hssJ light.
